Huh, he claims "there isn't a single video clip that isn't real news footage, and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music, this one goes too far."

Turns out that this is an outright lie?

I can find at least one clip from his video for sale right now. Lol, $35 Canadian. 12 seconds in.

"In fact, he uses multiple clips in the first 30 seconds of the video that are either fake, or didn't even happen in America."

Stark added that the clip was "actually video from stock video footage that is for sale on stock sites," including Shuttershock.

Another clip from Aldean's video showed someone throwing a Molotov cocktail and was also stock footage, "but that's not all... it's from a controlled commercial video shoot for the sole purpose of stock footage." Stark said that the clip was also not American, but from Bulgaria.

Yeah I meant it as it's not really coded in anyway it's easy to see what he was doing little effort to try and hide his racism.

He only came out with this BS trying to lie about it after the video was pulled.

A quick look at his life and history and you can tell the guy is an absolute loser of a human being.

The irony being that Aldean was born and raised in a mid-sized city (Macon), grew up as part of the upper-middle class and attended private school during his youth, currently resides in a large city (Nashville), and didn't even write the lyrics to the song (or any of this other big hits).

Aside from being racist and a terrible person, the guy is a grade-A grifter. Rural Americans (and Canadians) are so dumb for supporting him.

He's not that great a singer. I've never quite understood his relative popularity.

His wife's a real twat too. Really great pair.

Vince McMahon must be going crazy with a return of chairs racism i fully expect him to launch a new Nation of Domination and start more chair matches.

He would be the type to have the matches outside the court house.

Kind or telling that this is Grand Wizard anthem is his first ever #1 song but only after the video was cancelled and the racist lyrics came to light did it gain the traction to be #1.

Don't forget the rampant drug addiction problems...all in white populations too I may add. He's super out of touch.

I cannot be the only person who was watching that chair intently.

Friggin Garth. It's a shame he won't at least reveal where the bodies are. The families need closure

I have unsubscribed from their mailing list so many times but they always find me somehow. My last unsubscribe message referenced Tom Segura in order to hopefully blacklist myself.

It's just a bit. Coles notes; in one of his podcasts comedian Tom Segura saw a super awkward video of Garth Brooks on camera, and came to the conclusion that he's definitely a serial killer. It ended up going semi-viral I guess and led to thousands of people asking Garth Brooks where he's hiding all the bodies on social media

I hope he does successfully get cancelled so that I dont have to pay $750 a seat for the cheap tickets at his vegas residency... I saw a few available in his summer 2024 shows.


I am glad I caught him in Buffalo a few years ago.
